Jacket, Tristan, Made in Canada

Not nearly warm enough for bare legs yet, but I’m hopeful it will come! Winter is so long, every time I think it is over it starts back up! I am so looking forward to spring, and green trees, and grass, and flowers! I’m hoping to start a small garden of edibles, the idea of scarfing down my own potatoes just pleases me immensely.
Other things going on? Well, I’m slowly but surely learning the old French. Classes at work have finished, so I suppose I’ve technically graduated from at least one class! We’re watching Top Chef France at home, and I am not reading any books at all. We’ll see how that goes. i did pick up a copy of Le Petit Prince, and my favourite book of all time, The Giver, in French (Le Passeur), and I am hopeful to finish them, when I have time!
Running around with looking for a home, and wedding, and work, and friends, and and and, I’ve been so busy!
I’ve seen neither Lauren nor Aaron in weeks, though. I miss Lauren, though every time I’ve tried to speak with her she’s been too busy. I guess when she is ready she’ll reach out. For Aaron, well, he’s always too busy, too. I guess we all are. It is hard to be a grownup.
I have spent some time with Shiv this week, and it was wonderful! We went to a marmalade workshop given by Preservation Society – and boy howdy was it amazing! Camille has such passion and vigor, it was a real pleasure to be around. We made two marmalades in class, and I took home a lemon, marmgarita, and the seville orange. They’re all amazing. I thought I didn’t like marmalade, but I was super wrong.
We also went to a pottery class! I made a bowl!!
It was wickedly fun, I can’t wait to see it once it has dried and whatnot. It was given by Poterie BonMatin and I would definitely do it again. She has a very zen manner, it was a very peaceful experience – I managed to forget everything while I was working on that bowl! Super delightful.
Next week, we’re off to the Ceramic Cafe to paint some pre-made potteries, and the week of April 1, to Paint Nite! I’m looking forward to both of these things.
